I have had the HP mini for a few months now. It does get really hot on the underside. I notice after awhile that it does run slower, but doesn’t really cause any issues as of yet. I am wondering if I want to take it in and have it sent in. Ho early a netbook shouldn’t be getting this hot. I feel that there will only be a matter of time before it really starts acting up. What does everyone else think?

I am planning to buy HP Mini 210 series after going through many Notebooks from different brands. But this series got on issue i.e HEAT.

My doubts are Does this heat effects the Performance of the Notebook?
Does this Heat creates problems for hardware in future?

Thank you

After upgrading my HP Mini to Windows 7, I found a HUGE difference in heat, I can barely touch the bottom of the netbook!

Have anyone else noticed this in Windows 7 ??

Isn’t there any software which will control the cpu speed and monitors temperature also ??

Hi Henry Hill,
There is no way to reduce heat for HP Mini but you can use notebook cooler to help. It is best to use in the air con room only actually.

Please suggest how to reduce such heat for HP Mini. I am fed up using it for more then 30 minute on my lap. Pretty hot. Thanks.

i’m suprised, never considered that the top could get that hot! this eee900linux is pretty chilled, a bit of a shock from the bottom sometimes but only when the vent’s been covered! the keypad or touchpad have never gotten hot enough to mention, maybe it was just a particularly hot episode…

still, don’t know why there’s not many contributors to these comments here, is nobody concerned about burnout? i was hoping there would be a market for cooling bases to put laptops on for prolonged home or office use, “coolpads”?
